Abstract：ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) in the diagnosis of small intestinal disease in senile people.MethodsA total of 61 senile patients (male 37, female 24) with suspected small intestinal diseases underwent 72 cases of SBE examination (46 cases for oral approach, 26 cases for anal approach), while, checked against the analysis of 345 cases of young patients during the same period.Results61 senile patients were able to tolerate checks. Positive detection rate of gastrointestinal bleeding of senile people was 62.3%(38/61).The procedure time of SBE was (55.93±14.39) min, and the intubation depth was (197.6±101.2) cm. The main lesion detections were small intestinal ulcer (8 cases), small intestinal inflammatory changes (7 cases), small intestine cancer (6 cases), small intestinal diverticulum (5 cases), small intestinal interstitialoma (4 cases), vascular dilatation (3 cases). 3 patients underwent endoscopic therapy. Significant difference was found in small intestine ulcer, small intestine cancer and vascular dilatation in the elderly compared with the young.ConclusionSBE had a higher diagnostic yield of small intestinal diseases in senile people, and was a safe and reliable method for diagnosis and treatment of intestinal diseases.
